Unexpected summit while "on the way" to Charleston Peak. Got turned around and decided to summit since I was half way there when I realized it. Nice views, beautiful day. Cursing those extra miles and elevation on the way down from Charleston though. Ha!

This is the hike I bring my not practicing hiking parents out to do. It's a nice pedestal in a round of mountains and easy going. After the hike, you're at the front door to Mt Charleston Lodge for lunch.
